Clayton Anderson
Small Surrealist Landscape with Boats - After the Flood

circa 1970s

About the Item

Detailed surrealist landscape depicting a barren, desert-like scene with small boats by Clayton Anderson (American, b. 1943). Signed "CLAY ANDERSON" on verso. Unframed, but mounted on a birds eye maple box and ready to be displayed as is. Image size: 8.6"H x 8.6"W. Clayton Anderson (American, b. 1943) studied at the Pennsylvania Academny of the Fine Arts and worked with Ben Kimihira, Waltler Stuempfig, and Hobson Pittman. He is a surrealist painter and a member of the California Visionary Artists Group. Artist’s statement; "Over the years my Geminian nature has led me to develop a number of visually distinctive painting styles. Although the stylistic elements in my art have varied, there has been a unifying factor consistently running through my paintings which reflects a deep love for the unique, spiritual alchemy that arises from the combination of Beauty and Mystery. Since my childhood I've been strongly attracted to creative works which possessed this combination, and I've searched for its unique, potent presence through the vehicle of my art. When Mystery refuses to fully reveal its secrets, the thinking mind temporarily gives up and, for a moment, is quiet. When Beauty is observed the heart expands and presents awareness with an exquisite energy. The combination of a quiet mind and an expanded heart offers the opportunity for an extremely rich human experience, one for which I look daily in my Art and in my Life."

  • Characters in a Surrealist Landscape
    By Lucien Coutaud
    Located in London, GB
    'Characters in a Surrealist Landscape', oil on canvas, by Lucien Coutaud (1931). A couple entwine with the male character seemingly in grief, the female not returning with a comforting embrace. In the distant landscape a sole character meanders. This painting seems to be a creation of the artist's dreams, perhaps reflecting events in his personal life. It seems there is a relationship problem. In the world of Surrealists, there is a focus on the unconscious mind through Freudian methods of free association, trance-like states or dreams. Some Surrealists practiced psychic 'automatism' which was automatic writing or drawing, turning off the conscious mind and producing streams of words or images directly from the unconscious. In unlocking the unconscious in this way, Surrealism was individually expressed (Ref. 'The Short Story of Art...
